What causes household plumbing to 'groan' when the toilet is flushed?

If this noise occurs after shutting off a fixture (e.g., shower or sink), I'd pop the lid on the toilet tank and check there. Sometimes, this type of noise occurs when water pressure is reduced somewhere else, causing the fill valve to open slightly and howl like a foghorn. So, after shutting off the water and hearing the noise, pull up on the toilet tank float to see if it stops. If it does, replacing the fill valve will fix it.if still problem persist call for Plumbing repair service.

Could something you flushed down the toilet get caught in the toilet or pipes?
Everything is possible but most likely if it was flushed then it will not get caught in the pipes. ------------ Depending on what you are flushing, it can most certainly get caught in the pipes. Older plumbing cannot handle "modern" things people flush down the toilet, such as feminine hygiene products. These can get caught up in the plumbing, slowly building up and eventually blocking the pipe, creating an UGLY mess. If you take a look at most sit-down commodes you will notice that there are a couple of really sharp turns before the system even enters the floor. At these turns, certain hard things like glasses and cell phones can get caught in the toilet itself.
